Sino Group held a recruitment day at the exhibition. Participants must register online in advance. It can be seen that most of the job-seekers present are young people.
Mr. Ji, a graduate of the Department of Construction Engineering and Management of PolyU, worked in an interior design company after graduating last year. However, due to the discrepancy between the nature of the job and his ideals, he did not have a full-time job for half a year after resigning.
He applied for 5 to 6 jobs within half a year, but there was no response. During this period, he was self-study and relied on casual workers such as tutoring to make a living.
At worst, Mr. Ji intends to switch to a waitership.

He went to the recruitment day to apply for a job for the first time, hoping to find a job related to construction engineering or education, but today there is only one job that fits his mind.
He is worried that it will be difficult to find a job under the epidemic. Many students cannot find a job related to the subject after graduation. He also plans to switch to a job in the catering industry, such as a waiter, if he fails to find a related job by September.

Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhao, fresh graduates of the University of Hong Kong, said that due to the poor market conditions under the epidemic, many bachelor graduates would rather choose to study for a master’s degree after graduation, in a disguised way to push up the average academic qualifications of job seekers; some graduates also lowered their job search requirements. People from Shenke have all applied to positions where they are not strong enough," making the competition greater than in the past.
The two started seeking jobs in September last year and have applied for about 20 positions so far, 5 of which have received responses. Mr. Lin said that the job search situation is still ideal and not pessimistic.

Sino Group’s recruitment day provides about 1,000 vacancies, 30% of which are suitable for recent graduates.
